Acheron is classified as Severely Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger
Acheron (Asheron) is a Niger–Congo language in the Talodi family spoken in South Kordofan, Sudan.
Acheron derives from the Arabic word aɟɟur-uun which means "innocent people",[2] it was later "indigenised as acʊrʊn" (Stevenson 1956: 102) and turned into aʃərɔn. The autoethonym in Acheron is wɑ-rəmɛ for the people and ɡə-rəmɛ for the language.[2]
The number of active speakers is estimated to be 9.800.[2] This number includes the community members and "diaspora speakers"[2] in other Sudanese towns and abroad.
